UPDATE 18 - Boom

06GwP.png


One last quick look at our score to remind us of our objective. We need about 250 points. Failure is not an option.

r6kZu.png


Shorty before noon, the Triton arrives at the colony site.

CZiK4.png


The mission starts as always, with flares being thrown to light up the way. A hallucinoid is discovered in the distance.

Kn5bB.png


A well thrown pusler by KickButt kills it.

0mi02.png


M.C. attacks start, Hellraiser II is targeted and storms out of the sub right away.

JH48z.png


Hellraiser wasn't shot in his mad sortie, so the way is mostly clear. Kickbutt peeks around the corner and spots one alien construction.

S6Mk4.png


We've already been in this area, and know the general layout. We in particular know where the balcony is, a balcony wide enough to allow passage of a guided missile. eklektyk and TripJack were the soldiers designed to carry the Disruptor Pulse Launchers, for their proven mental fortitude. TripJack begins programming his missile, then launches it.

Mwki1.png


The guided projectile follows its path closely and explodes when it hits the wall, bringing about massive death of at least one Tasoth, one Aquatoid, and one Hallucinoid or one Tentaculat.

fmvB4.png


Pope Amole II finds an alien carrying a dangerous weapon. A weapon he would rather have for himself.

qnGdK.png


Thrombone throws a pulser and the alien is no more.

YRzUm.png


Scouts have discovered a massive building in the center of the map. The first test showed that walls are torn apart by the power of the blast, so eklektyk plots a course for a missile.

6gJw9.png


The explosion destroys most of the northern hull.

5Vwrb.png


Now that the way is open, TripJack sends a missile in the inside of the building.

sN4tY.png


The massive blast kills Aquatoids and Tasoths.

Sr54t.png


KickButt finds an aquatoid guarding the entrance to the northern building.

Os1bZ.png


eklektyk launches a Disruptor torpedo towards the lower left corner of the central building. It kills some Tasoths and Tentaculats.

sMpov.png


TripJack hits another corner of the top level of the central building. More aliens meet their doom.

p2XqK.png


A pulser is thrown to deal with the aquatoid guard. Sadly, it blows the Disruptor Pulse Launcher the aquatoid we killed earlier was carrying.

eVFR3.png


Pope Amole finds a stunned, panicked Tasoth standing on the top level of the central building, surrounded by utter destruction.

hBzsX.png


KickButt throws a pulser by it lands far away.

9Ovey.png


Shots are heards inside the alien building, screams of rage and anguish. Nothing targeted to us, thankfully.

jCaa8.png


Oscar inherited TripJack's launcher after he was targeted by M.C., even though the latter succeeded in defending against the intrusion. We've seen the power of these weapons, and won't take any risk. He throws a pulser to deal with the earlier Tasoth and lands it right on target.

8SFXX.png


Hellraiser II falls under alien control. Disruptor Launchers are unloaded to prevent unwanted reaction fire.

ZNMAn.png


eklektyk programs a missile to follow a path to the lower level of the central building, taking advantage of the opening we can see in the distance.

lKOY5.png


The explosions kills many aliens. Tasoths, Aquatoids and Tentaculats are neutralized.

ltdb7.png


Two heavily armed Tasoth guard the way forward, but one has dropped his weapon in panic.

CT377.png


It's still dangerous, so Pope Amole runs away as he ears about Oscar's plan.

XXQvj.png


A torpedo is to fly low and explode far away from Pope Amole.

8sN7g.png


The path is followed precisely, and the blast kills one alien.

6rRtC.png


But the other is left standing ! To make things worse, a Tentaculat is also discovered.

fRtrA.png


eklektyk enters a tricky trajectory in his Disruptor Pulse Launcher.

A1ojm.png


The projectile is deadly accurate, and hits the Tentaculat as planned.

lwnMO.png


ironyuri falls under alien control. No surprise there.

4fVYw.png


Thrombone finds a large elevator in the center of the main building. Our entrance for the lower levels, no doubt.

tE8Hp.png


Hallucinoids are spotted in the distance.

O1HGC.png


More unarmed Tasoths as well.

G3q9p.png


Pope Amole got hold of a Disruptor Pulse Launcher from a dead alien, and is all too eager to test it. The torpedo obeys and hits the upper Tasoth.

0XkZB.png


Zdzisiu threw a grenade to deal with the Hallucinoid, but missed. It explodes without doing any damage.

6kTuR.png


An aquatoid, once again unarmed, patrols towards the target area.

xNYxA.png


Another pulser, this time well thrown, is used to deal with the eastern Tentaculat.

GNK9r.png


And Pope Amole plots another course for a torpedo, to deal with the aquatoid.

okGTz.png


Once again, the missile doesn't stray and explodes in the correct location.

Yr5WK.png


Zdzisiu's pulser kills the Hallucinoid.

QeOkh.png


Tasoths are getting mad, shooting around the building and dropping their weapons left and right.

zWvDn.png


A Tentaculat is found, waiting for a victim.

B0O7f.png


And another Tasoth on the upper platform.

14oee.png


eklektyk's torpedo doesn't miss.

xzcIs.png


Banelion shoots the Tasoth down.

HLty3.png


Another Hallucinoid to the south.

ixoXl.png


lightbane mk3 shoots at it, scores a hit but the beast is still alive.

BquVv.png


Banelion shoots but misses.

X9W5f.png


Oscar ends the monster's life.

ruX3L.png


But there was another, waiting in the shadows behind. It approaches our scout at an alarming rate.

xduPY.png


lightbane falls under alien control. He's armed with a Sonic Cannon, he has to be dealt with.

Z5jkB.png


Zdzisiu finds himself face to face with two giant jellyfishes.

AxBOf.png


Black Bart Charley stuns lightbane, before eklektyk shoots him down.

H7S9d.png


Our commander aims for the Hallucinoids instead.

Dt4cu.png


Our snipers are almost exhausted and both aliens are still alive. A Disruptor torpedo is used to deal with the first one.

MLOyy.png


Banelion finishes off the other.

OxRWz.png


Oscar uses our newly acquired MediKit to wake up lightbane. You're not sitting this one out, soldier.

LMnyu.png


KickButt is targeted by an intense M.C. attack. His launcher is unloaded, thankfully.

KOqyY.png


More aliens panic in the distance.

d17jh.png


But some don't.

j0TpL.png


Pope Amole II falls under alien control.

V13oZ.png


And KickButt succumbs too!

gqB2V.png


One Tasoth, probably a squad leader, awoke behind our soldiers' backs. Pope Amole's Disruptor is loaded, we would be very much at risk if he wasn't too overloaded to fire.

f6s4r.png


ironyuri is thrown a Sonic Cannon and shoots down the puppeteer. He then drops his gun.

QAyvW.png


Black Bart Charley finds a Tasoth far to the southwest.

QKTHN.png


But the real danger comes from the south! A hidden Tentaculat approaches at a rapid pace, and bites Hellraiser II!
RIP Hellraiser II :salute:, you channeled many M.C. attacks before your fall, and were a decent scout.

WEa8i.png


More aliens panic. Kill a dozen of them in a few turns and they all break down.

n7V9I.png


But some regain their senses, and continue their M.C. attacks.

RBE7B.png


ironyuri shoots down the alien Tentaculat, but noone can deal with the zombie just yet. Zdzisiu runs away as fast as he can, hoping the monster will be slower than him.

WcBMI.png


Meanwhile, Black Bart Charley finds more aliens.

xmbXM.png


Oscar launches his last torpedo, and both aliens blow up, as well as a large portion of the building walls.

XmRnK.png


Zdzisiu barely escaped the Zombie, and won't be able to run away much longer. lightbane shoot it down, and a much worse Tentaculat springs from the dead body.

2A5Wn.png


eklektyk takes careful aims, shoots, but misses and kills Zdzisiu !
RIP Zdzisiu II :salute:, you trusted eklektyk's perfect aim, and paid the price.

JfkJl.png


In case there was any doubt, eklektyk's accuracy is 103% ...

6qU9E.png


And the next turn, he misses again. Our commander has lost his touch.

3GYmr.png


lightbane however is on a roll. A good shot later the threat is gone.

IXg0Z.png


M.C. attacks have all but stopped, so the team begins gathering equipment on dead aliens and make for the central elevator. A Tasoth is found to the southwest.

LV04i.png


Oscar shoots it down.

17Qsn.png


Everyone is ready, we gathered no less than 3 more Disruptor Pulse Launchers, about a dozen torpedoes and a few valuable alien artifacts.

2Z8QS.png


Confident, our team embarks for the lower levels of the alien colony...

Son of a bitch!

Also, jesus christ, all those explosions.
I think now I know the origins of the tsunami that wrecked Japan.

Which leaves only one logical conclusion: this was no accident!

Well I guess that the challenging part is over now. Time to unload the WMDs on alien ass.

BTW does this one end with an assault on Cydonia too?

No, he looked alright, but he was about to look VERY funny in about 20 seconds.

In this case, you did the right thing. Euthanasia is not illegal in international waters. :salute:

I think he meant the base attack, not the overall game. He's still wrong, the second phase has a ton of rape potential, what with nasty corridors and alcoves packed with lobstermen that are equally lethal at range and up close, and can withstand a single disruptor rocket attack (in my experience), as well as tentaculats.

Fun fun fun.

Fuck, I manage to escape a tentarapecular just to be shot down by my fellow aquanaut?

And with 103% accuracy... I bet I was hit straight between the eyes.
